Antique and Fine Art Moving
Antiques and art need a different kind of care: acid-free wrap, corner protectors, custom boxes, crates when needed and hands that move slowly. We wrap and carry each piece, protect surfaces and finishes and unwrap it at the other end, so the things you love arrive the way they left.
